Review: Origami Couture Skirt

6, Nov 2009

Origami Couture Skirt ($26.00)
Rating: Trendy for now… and spring… and maybe next fall but certainly not a classic
Fit: If you’re worried about adding more volume to your bottom half then don’t even bother with this one. But if you have some wiggle room, then this is definitely a more interesting option than the usual full [...]

Review: Belted Halter Dress

6, Nov 2009

Belted Halter Dress ($44)
Rating: Buy it never
Fit: I appreciate Twelve by Twelve’s effort. I really do. From afar, and I’m talking all the way across the store, this dress looks uber chic. Then you get closer and the disappointment kicks in. But still, you want to try it on because a belted, bustier dress like [...]

Review: Blotchy Floral Woven Dress

5, Nov 2009

Blotchy Floral Woven Dress ($22.80)
Rating: Wear it Forever
Fit: Padded busts. A Forever 21 feature Jen and I absolutely despise. But there’s an exception to every rule and this is one of them. The subtle padding combined with the crossover sweetheart neckline actually enhances the bust, rather than making it look like you just got a [...]

Review: Floral Printed Dress

22, Oct 2009

Floral Printed Dress ($39.00)
Rating: Buy It Maybe
Fit: This is a cute enough dress–nice print, 40’s inspired silhouette. For a lot of people this dress will work and look supercute while for a lot of other people the cut of the skirt will make them look like a bell. I happen to fall into that [...]

Review: Slinky Knit Dress

22, Oct 2009

Slinky Knit Dress ($22.80)
Rating: Wear it forever
Fit: If I didn’t know better, I would think Diane von Furstenberg was designing a affordable line for Forever 21. This dress fits just as well as printed DVF pieces in my closet. The piping at the empire waist draws attention up towards a flattering neckline and the subtle [...]

Review: Velvet Sheath Dress

21, Oct 2009

Velvet Sheath Dress ($29.80)
Rating: Wear it Forever
Fit: I had very low expectations when I saw this dress on the hanger. But after trying it on, it took an immense amount of will power not to buy it. And the only reason I didn’t buy it is because I already have a velvet LBD and I’m [...]

Review: Scalloped Fringe Dress

20, Oct 2009

Scalloped Fringe Dress ($24.80)
Rating: Trendy for Now
Fit: It’s a shapeless shift, but it works. The hem is short enough to show off your legs and it’s not like those flappers in the ‘20s had defined waists anyway.
Versatility: You can wear a fringe dress more than you’d think. The most obvious is at night with [...]

Review: Ruffle Front Shirt Dress

14, Oct 2009

Ruffle Front Shirt Dress ($39.00)
Rating: Buy It Never
Fit: This dress looks so nice and reserved on that lifeless mannequin but on an actual person such as myself, it looks more like a hot mess. At first I tired to tell myself, it must just be the awful placement of that security magnet thing (why [...]
